Piron's New Orleans Orchestra: Piron's New Orleans Orchestra

Read "Piron's New Orleans Orchestra" reviewed by Andrew J. Sammut


Listeners accustomed to the wail and stomp of early New Orleans jazz might be surprised to hear the whisper and glide of Piron's New Orleans Orchestra. While famed pioneers such as Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, and Johnny Dodds spoke from the earthy tradition of the outdoor parade, Piron's orchestra illustrated the smooth sounds of indoor entertainment. Not that Piron's band couldn't turn up the heat when it wanted; it was just a slow burn rather than a sudden bonfire.
